The Warrior of Love

"We already have a great, no, the best healer in the world."

"No, my brave hero, the "healing technique" in this natural magic stone is not of the level of ordinary people."

My Hebe is not an ordinary person!

——Jiang Liu smiled subtly.

The Lionheart King didn't pay attention and continued, "Even if it's a high-level healing technique, it's just that the efficiency and range of healing are greater, and there's no essential difference from low- and medium-level ones.

But the magic of this gem is different. Its effect is simply at the level of miracles. Even if an organ is missing, it can be restored immediately. Moreover, most negative states, such as curses, plagues, and charms, can be cleared away. The only thing that cannot be prevented is aging.

The Demon King is an undead. Although the Hero King was closer to a warrior class when he was alive, he must be proficient in negative status magic. Wearing it on your body can give you an extra chance to turn defeat into victory and be immune to the Demon King's curse."

"Well, what's the matter? I can also--"

"Oh, that's really helpful, thank you."

Jiang Liu quickly stopped the unconvinced Hebe, waved his hand with a smile, and took the goddess of youth and two other companions out of the palace.

As for the necklace inlaid with magic gems, although there was basically no chance to use it with Heber around, Jiang Liu still put it away properly.

Even though it won’t be used in this crusade against the Demon King, it can be used in other places - Jiang Liu couldn’t help but feel relieved when he thought of something that he had been thinking about.

"It will take more than ten days to walk from here to the Demon King's castle... Anyway, there are no cities to go to along the way, so let's just fly there. Please." Jiang Liu looked at Ai Si, and the Ice Dragon Princess nodded vigorously.

"Please leave it to me, my brave hero. I will not make any mistakes this time!"

"Yeah, good girl..." Jiang Liu touched the girl's head habitually. After enjoying the softness, he remembered something.

He opened the dark space, took out the gorgeous shield called "Frost Scale" from it, and handed it to Ais.

"You will keep this for now."

"What?!" Aisi was shocked. She took the shield at a loss, but didn't know what to do.

"In the next battle, I plan to attack the Demon King's lair. Although I have some confidence in myself, the number of enemies is definitely large. If I am the only vanguard, I may not be able to handle it.

Heber is the healer standing in the back, and Alia is responsible for dealing with various magic seals and traps, and she can't charge into battle, which means that there are only two of us who can protect them.

This shield is given to you. Your mission is to protect their safety until I defeat the demon king."

"But, I, I...how can I..."

"I believe you can do it!"

Jiang Liu said seriously: "You are the Ice Dragon Princess who will become the next queen in the future, and this shield is a symbol of your clan that has been passed down from generation to generation. What could be better than using this shield to protect the world and wash away the stigma of the Ice Dragon clan?"

"My dear hero..."

"Even I can't be perfect, but you can make up for my mistakes, so I hope you can accept it. This is not an order or a request, but my trust in you. That's right... please lend me your strength, Ais."

"call--"

Taking a deep breath, the Ice Dragon Princess' face lit up with an unusually brilliant look, her cheeks slightly flushed as she spoke loudly.

"Yes! I will defend Lady Heber and Lady Aaliyah to the death and will never let them come to any harm!"

At this time, the red-haired goddess walked towards Ais with a smile and placed her hand on her forehead: "In the name of the Sealing Goddess Alia, the proud dragon hidden deep in your soul, show your strength and sharpen your claws..."

Powerful waves of magic were released from Ais' body. The Ice Dragon Princess looked around her body in surprise. She felt an unprecedented sense of fullness expanding inside her body. The shield in her hand seemed to come alive. A strange heartbeat rhythm came from the cold shield...

"That's no problem... We must win!"

Alia, who had been cautious and steady before, became emotional on the eve of arriving at the Demon King's Castle.

"Everyone, we must win, and no one should be left behind!"

Chapter 400: Final Battle - Demon King

"I am one of the four kings under the Demon King, the War Dragon Demon O Serba Milo, and I have been ordered to guard the gate! Hero, unless you step over my dead body, otherwise--"

Bang!

The condensed wind pressure penetrated the chest of the burly demon and blew his entire back apart, and a blood rain immediately sprinkled in the sky!

The hard armor and strong muscles were of no use at all, and were as fragile as paper in front of the brave man's iron fist.

However, worthy of being the last of the Four Heavenly Kings, this six or seven meter tall black-armored dragon man had amazing resilience. Even his heart was shattered, he still stood firm. Rich red magic power erupted from his body, mixed with blood, and spread wildly like a burning flame.

"Dead but still breathing?"

Seeing that the enemy possessed skills like "Battle Continuation" and "Berserk", Jiang Liu was not surprised but happy, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"Then come again!"

The armed color domineering condensed into an invisible armor on Jiang Liu's body along a specific trajectory. His physical ability also leapt forward again. With a sudden step, a sound of thunder was heard. Amid the roar of the exploding atmosphere, Jiang Liu turned into a residual shadow and rushed in front of the dragon warrior.

"Ryuukaku o Lionheart!"

He displayed the fighting god style techniques, with strong and continuous punches that ravaged the atmosphere. He also used his body movements to flash across the entire space in an instant and launched attacks on the dragon man from all directions.

The last of the Four Heavenly Kings had just completed his rampage, uncontrollable power violently surging in his body, his desire for destruction was unprecedentedly high, but just as he came to his senses, he was already under a storm of fists.

Relying on the unique physical skills of Doushenliu, Jiang Liu can launch heavy punches continuously without accumulating strength. Each punch has full power, and there is almost no gap in the coordination between them.

Everything was done in the blink of an eye. Seventeen iron fists hit the dragon man almost at the same time. The chaotic blood-red waves could not withstand Jiang Liu's attack and were torn apart like a dead tree or rotten wood. The clear fist marks seemed to be carved by a knife or an axe, leaving broken traces on the hard scales.

Immediately, the domineering aura that was punched into the dragon's body began to expand -

boom! !

Dozens of conflicting arrogances exploded at the same time, blasting the burly dragon warrior into pieces of blood and flesh from the inside out...

"Lord Serbamiluo is killed!"

"Oh no, the leader is dead!"

"No way, that adult actually——"

Because of Serbamiro's death, the dragon soldiers under his command began to panic. Some wanted revenge and some wanted to escape. The army was almost immediately defeated.

Jiang Liu had no intention of specifically hunting down these dragon men. He called out to his companions, and they began to march into the Demon King's City, facing the few dragon warriors who had mustered up the courage to rush over.

"drink!"

The ice dragon girl Ais maintains her human form, but after her potential was stimulated by Alia, the advantages of her mixed blood were fully utilized. Even if she did not transform into a giant dragon, she could still spit out powerful dragon breath.

A frost storm swept past, instantly freezing all the dragons standing in front of it. Then, a dragon roared, and the shockwaves destroyed all the ice sculptures...

Perhaps because of her bloodline advantage, Aisi didn't seem to have to put much effort in dealing with these dragon people. Moreover, these guys had all surrendered to the Demon King, so the Ice Dragon Princess was ruthless when she attacked them.

The defense in front of the gate was quickly broken through by Jiang Liu and others, and the dragon-man battle was brutally dispersed, leaving only a magnificent gate engraved with strange patterns and looking quite old.

Unlike the fragile dragon defense line, this gate was obviously enchanted with defensive magic or even a barrier, and it was definitely not something that could be easily broken.

"Holy Curse Removal!"

"The seal is lifted!"

The two goddesses cast spells at the same time, and two golden lights flashed above the door. Suddenly, the atmosphere of the entire door changed, and it seemed to be a little "brighter".

The ominous feeling in the air was dispelled, which meant that the magic attached to it had been defeated by the two of them, and now only the "hardness" was left.

"Giant God Attack!"

Without any hesitation, Jiang Liu charged forward with a punch, and a city-level magic storm was blasted out by his fist, turning into a spiral battering ram that smashed the city gate to pieces.

"continue!"

Everyone rushed to the inner city quickly, but once they entered, they found a dark mass in front of them, all of which were undead warriors wearing tattered armor.

Even though they are just skeletons, they are different from ordinary soldiers. These guys exude a very strong aura. Maybe they are nothing in the eyes of Jiang Liu, but if they are placed in the outside world, they are enough to rival the elite guards in the palace.

And here, the entire city is filled with such undead warriors, there are probably thousands or even tens of thousands of them!

"Hmm, this amount..."

Ai Si, who originally wanted to reveal her true form as a dragon to help Jiang Liu continue his charge, couldn't help but hesitate when she saw this scene.

With such an overwhelming difference in numbers, she probably wouldn't be able to kill them all even if she sprayed dragon breath until she was exhausted. Moreover, if she became bigger, it would only make it easier for the undead warriors to besiege her.

"My lord, what should we do?"

"give it to me."

Jiang Liu did not respond, but Heber took over the conversation and raised his staff.

"Ultimate Holy Purification!"

The artifact-level staff released a gorgeous colorful light, spanning the city like a rainbow bridge. Countless undead souls affected by the light burned into ashes under the shining light, and their resentment turned into black smoke and dissipated.

With just this one strike, more than a thousand undead would be destroyed!

Such a large-scale spellcasting was too much for even Hebe, who was extremely talented. He leaned on his staff and gasped heavily.

“Hoo, hoo… Let’s rush over now before the other Undead warriors surround us!”

"Well done, Heber!"

Regardless of whether the silver-haired goddess agreed or not, Jiang Liu picked her up by the waist and set foot on the purified rainbow light road, while Ai Si and Alia followed closely behind.

The sacred power had not yet completely dissipated, and the undead warriors instinctively felt fear and dared not move forward. Jiang Liu and others successfully broke through the inner city and came to the real "Devil's Palace".

But it is more like a temple than a bedroom, because there are neither bedding nor gorgeous decorations. Instead, it is filled with marble pillars that demonstrate majesty and solemnity, and the area is so large that it does not look like a mere palace.

At the deepest and highest place of the palace, looking up along more than a hundred steps, you can see a throne carved from obsidian and inlaid with rubies.

Then naturally, the huge figure sitting on it is the legendary devil!

Jiang Liu has encountered many twists and turns along the way, spent a lot of energy, and shouldered the expectations of countless people.

Now, he finally faced the devil head-on!

Chapter 401: Let’s get started, Hero King!

"Hoho, are you the hero?"

The skeleton hid its skeletal body under a gorgeous robe, with soul fire swaying in its eye sockets, cast its "gaze" towards Jiang Liu, and then slowly stood up.

Although he appears to be wearing a loose robe, the sound of crisp metal collision can be heard during his movements. After he stands up, one can see the edges and corners that cannot be concealed by the clothes. It is obvious that he is wearing additional armor underneath.

Perhaps this is the reason why, despite being just a skeleton, it looks unexpectedly strong and sturdy.

Only the head and hands were exposed, and each of the ten finger bones was adorned with a dazzling jewel ring. Even Jiang Liu, who knew little about this, could tell at a glance that it was high-end stuff.

Since it can be worn by the Demon King, it cannot be an ordinary gem. It is probably a magic stone like "Siren's Tears", but the effect of a single piece is definitely not as good as "Siren's Tears".

Jiang Liu glanced around and found no guards or ambushes, and he also didn't see any weapons on the Demon King. He couldn't help but frown.

"What's wrong? You finally came to this castle and stood before my throne, but now you feel scared?"

The demon king pointed his white finger bones towards Jiang Liu and said, "Aren't you going to attack me, brave man? Why are you standing still?"

"Are you the Hero King?" Jiang Liu asked coldly to confirm.

"Hero King? Ah, it seems that there was such a name before... for this body."

The soul fire in the devil's skull was shaking slightly, showing that he was not in a peaceful mood.

"However, the me who has awakened is not anyone you said you knew, nor is I some hero king. I am myself - Demon King Garcias!"

Golden particles appeared in the air and condensed into an extremely gorgeous Western-style sword in the white-bone hand.

Holy Sword oExcalibur!

Just by taking a glance at it, one can tell that this is a weapon of higher level than the "Frostbound Reverse Scales". In other words, it is a true "divine weapon"!

Jiang Liu couldn't help but twitch his lips when he saw this: the previous goddess was really a "good teammate", she also strengthened the Demon King.

Of course, even so, Jiang Liu would not be afraid and was still confident in himself. If he had to explain why, it was because he had a divine sword that was in perfect condition.

"Buzz!"

Pitch-black ripples appeared in the air, and the dull blade was slowly pulled out by Jiang Liu. The blood-red veins that looked like cracks flashed with an eerie glow as the angle changed.

"Ok?"

The soul fire of Demon Lord Garcias moved slightly, and he seemed a little surprised.

"This sword... doesn't look like something a hero should hold."

"Isn't it the same for you?"

Jiang Liu pointed the blade at the Demon King and said with a smile, "You've become such a horrible state, and you still have the nerve to use the Holy Sword?"
